Default Anyone tried an oval outlet pipe?
Hi everyone,

This message was originally meant for Tam but I figured I would ask everyone.

Has anyone attempted to make and use a tubine pipe with an oval outlet?

I realize there would be mechanical stress on the pipe outlet (requiring some sort of external support former and possibly a strut through the middle of the oval).

I am wondering how the flow behaves, if the total exit area is the same as it would be in a round pipe.

Thanks,
